Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

As soon as dawn broke, the palace slowly began to bustle with activity again. Darkness was dispelled, and corners were illuminated. Even the palace maids who were sweeping and cleaning began their busy day.

Today's morning court session was exceptionally unusual, as the Emperor and Empress were sitting together on the dragon throne. This hadn't happened for centuries, except for the founding emperor and empress.

"I wonder if the Empress has come to the front court for some important matter?" If it's nothing important, it's best not to run around unnecessarily.

"Indeed, it is a matter of utmost importance! Otherwise, the Empress would not have come in person." Duan Jiufeng clearly saw the disdain in this man's eyes. Daring to disrespect the Empress, you'll regret it later.

"No one but the Empress can handle this task; no one else can take her place."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of several court officials immediately lit up. Could it be that the Emperor wanted to discuss the matter of the young crown prince? Was it really necessary to come all the way to the court?

Many people were baffled and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Qin Baobao slowly stood up from her seat and calmly looked at the ministers.

The discussions in the court gradually subsided, as everyone wanted to see what the empress was up to.

The empress didn't say a word, she just calmly watched them.

Under that calm gaze, many courtiers couldn't help but lower their heads. After lowering their heads, they were filled with anger, but they still met the empress's gaze with a hardened expression.

As a key minister in the court and a pillar of the holy country, how could I be outdone by a woman?

The Queen's gaze remained calm, while I slowly succumbed to her power.

Although no words were spoken during this standoff, many ministers had already acknowledged the empress's courage in attending court.

"In my dream last night, a god bestowed upon me a divine sword named Azure Rainbow, to help my emperor unify the world and create a glorious era!" Qin Baobao said calmly, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

The court was silent for three seconds before anyone reacted.

Several impatient courtiers, as if finally venting their anger, glanced at the Empress with utter disdain.

Do you think we'd believe it? This kind of nonsense might fool the common people. Having spent most of her life navigating the treacherous waters of court politics, what kind of intrigues haven't she seen? If you're going to make up a reason, at least make it believable. And she's the Empress, after all; this is too childish.

Women really are all talk and no action!

"Your Majesty is wise! You are blessed by Heaven. I wish Your Majesty a unified empire and the beginning of a prosperous era." There are always sycophants who know what the Emperor wants. They are the first to step forward and win the Emperor's favor.

"Heaven protects us! Our Emperor has unified the world and ushered in a golden age." After the first person stood up, there was a second, and a third. The second person to stand up was none other than Minister Wang, Wang Xiyan's father.

One after another, many more people stood up. The more eye-rolling they did just now, the faster they stepped forward.

In the end, most of the court officials stood up, just to shout slogans; no one would die.

Even if you agree, there will always be someone who disagrees. If you're not smart enough, you'd better not step forward. Didn't you see the Emperor has already invoked the gods? He's determined to unify the world.

There are also those who are born with pride and are ashamed to follow the crowd. "Your Majesty, please reconsider! The multi-nation war has lasted for nearly a century. Although our country's strength has improved under the tireless efforts of two emperors, the states of Qi and Wei are eyeing our borders covetously and have harassed us many times in recent years. General Li is guarding the border, and there are no generals available in the court. Once we raise the banner of unifying the world, all the countries in the world will surely rise up to attack us. At that time, our holy country will be in danger! Moreover, Yun County is suffering from a severe drought. With internal and external troubles, there will likely be more trouble. It would be better to wait until our national strength is strong, first annex the surrounding small countries, and then slowly plan for unification."

The strategy is quite good, but it's too slow. In the face of absolute power, everything can be swept aside.

"May I ask you are?"

"Your humble servant, Minister of Revenue, Du Weijian," Minister Du said, though he had many complaints.

"Where is the Third Prince?" The Empress ignored Minister Du and asked Yin Mingxi.

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty to call me, your younger brother?" The Third Prince casually took a step forward, adopting an air of anticipation.

"It's nothing! In my dream yesterday, the gods revealed that the Third Prince must have some unusual phenomena. I was just curious about what those phenomena were. But today, I see that the Third Prince doesn't seem to have anything wrong with him..."

"Sister-in-law Huang, you're joking. You yourself said it was just a dream. Only my imperial brother would dote on you like this, making such a fuss over a dream." My usually wise imperial brother is actually making way for me because of a woman. You truly are a good empress! My imperial brother has also behaved well. Why don't we, in front of my imperial brother, experience what it's like to be an imperial sister-in-law?

"As the saying goes, if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't. I believe in the Empress, and I also believe in the dreams she has. The Empress would never deceive me!" Duan Jiufeng's tone was clearly displeased.

This man is utterly wicked. What does he take my sister for? Bao Si, the woman who played with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires? Even if he wanted to, my sister would never agree.

Qin Baobao glanced at him gently, as if to offer comfort. The real show is yet to come; just wait and see!

"Why did it suddenly start raining?" Yin Mingxi was soaked to the bone, her clothes clinging to her body, heavy and uncomfortable.

Alright, we've found the person to lead the disaster relief efforts. Who knows, people might even give him a friendly nickname: Rain God.

"No, this is indoors, how could it be raining? Someone must be playing a prank on me." Yin Mingxi moved to the side, and the people around him immediately moved away from him.

He himself couldn't see it, but those around him could see it clearly. Three feet above Yin Mingxi's head, a dark cloud was pouring rain down. The rain was so heavy that a layer of water had already accumulated around them.

"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Yin Mingxi sneezed three times in a row, shivering from the cold. Although the weather outside was hot, it wasn't hot enough to warrant a cold shower.

Even after moving to a different location, the rain continued to fall on him, and Yin Mingxi finally realized something was wrong.

He looked up, but the torrential rain blurred his vision, and he couldn't see anything.

"Brother, save me! What's going on? Sorcery! Someone must have used sorcery."

"Outrageous! What kind of sorcery is this? This is a gift from heaven!" Duan Jiufeng slammed his fist on the table in anger. Although he also found it very amazing, his sister was right! How dare you slander your sister? You'll regret it later.

"May the Holy Kingdom be blessed! The Third Prince, Yin Mingxi, has bestowed upon us the title of Rain God and ordered the Imperial Guards to escort the Third Prince to Yun County immediately. The disaster situation is urgent, so we must depart now."

"Yes! Your humble servant obeys!" The leader of the Imperial Guards was the emperor's confidant and had long disliked the philandering Third Prince. He ordered two Imperial Guards to lift the Third Prince up and carry him out of the main hall.

"Brother, you can't do this! I'm your own brother!" As soon as Yin Mingxi spoke, rainwater entered his mouth. He lost all his imposing manner and even looked somewhat ridiculous. His usual arrogance vanished, leaving him only in a disheveled state.

"How dare you! I am the Third Prince! ...Royal Brother! Royal Brother!" The Third Prince's figure receded into the distance, his unwilling voice still echoing in the air.

"We have the people from the earthquake disaster area; now let's discuss unifying the world." The crowd snapped out of their daze and looked at the even more majestic emperor on the throne. They prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Heaven blesses the Holy Kingdom! Your Majesty is wise! Heaven blesses the Holy Kingdom!"
